Caley + Richard at the Richmond Hill Country Club

Posted by Jennifer on August 30 2010

This weekend we gathered up the team and trotted up Highway 400 to Richmond Hill to design the flowers and Chuppah for Caley + Richard's nuptials at the lovely Richmond Hill Country Club! We love our home turf here in Niagara, but we also like to travel once in a while ... just to see how all the non-Niagaran's get by ... ya know?!?! :)

Caley + Richard's outdoor wedding ceremony took place in The Valley below the Country Club ... under one of our custom-made curly willow Chuppahs. It was a beautiful spot next to a babbling brook replete with an old wooden bridge you could only cross on foot ... picture perfect. Cocktails took place on one of the back patios immediately following the ceremony. Later in the evening, Caley + Richard hosted a dinner for their nearly 200 guests in Ballroom upstairs.

The colour palette for today was a blend of 'Forest' and 'Spirit' .... the ceremony and wear and carry were all Forest themed and we add hits of bold pink to the reception flowers!

Our best wishes are with Caley + Richard at the start of their new journey together ... Mazel tov!

The bride and bridesmaid's bouquets ... these colours were a perfect choice as the Forest palette looked right at home in The Valley! How adorable does Caley look ... a picture of complete serenity!!






The dapper looking gents ... all lined up and ready to walk the mile down the aisle!


In case you were wondering (and we know that you were!) ... our Chuppah frame can be adapted to many styles ... fabric, birch log, curly willow. For Caley + Richard's wedding ceremony, we designed a curly willow Chuppah and hand-tied over 150 white orchid blooms onto the willow.





Here come the hits of bold pink ... these centerpieces looked absolutely stunning in the Ballroom with the textured linens and gold chiavari chairs.

Stephanie + Danny's Vineyard Wedding

Posted by Jennifer on August 09 2010

Another first for us ... in ten years of designing flowers for weddings, we've never done one on a Monday ... until today!!

Stephanie + Danny's Jewish wedding ceremony was supposed to take place under the custom-made birch log chuppah we created for them ... but just 10 minutes before the ceremony, the skies opened up and the rain fell. Ever the optimists, Stephanie + Danny simply moved the ceremony indoors to the Vineyard Retreat at Cave Springs.

Suffice it to say, we were a little sad for our bride and groom ... that they weren't able to be wed in the vineyard under the chuppah ... but love knows no boundaries and come rain or come shine, Stephanie + Danny's love certainly weathered this little hurdle. :)

Cheers guys! We wish the newly weds blessings in their marriage.

Bliss was the colour palette for this smashing brides' bouquet ... how lovely!



Our Chuppah looked absolutely amazing out among the graperows in the vineyards ... lovin' it!!

Andrea + Jeff: Wed in Niagara on the Lake Wine Country

Posted by Jennifer on August 09 2010

What a weekend for love!!! The weather was near perfect, the venues and vendors we worked with were amazing and, if you don't mind us saying, the flowers were fantastic as well!! ;)

Calgarians Andrea + Jeff were married in the Rose Garden at Pillar and Post and later that evening hosted a celebratory dinner reception in the Grand Georgian Ballroom at Queen's Landing in Niagara on the Lake ... two fine choices indeed!

Andrea's colour palette was a version of our Shade palette augmented with accents of grey/pewter and featuring hits of chocolate and deep purply burgundy ... cool, refreshing, upscale gardeny look with attitude!

Thanks to Andrea + Jeff for indulging our passion for their wedding flowers ... best wishes!!!

Andrea's bouquet featured some cascading Amaranthus and we hand-tied in the lace detailing on the stem. The bouquet also featured raspberry, mint, lavender and fern fronds from our organic cutting gardens here at the studio!





The wedding ceremony in the Rose Garden at Pillar and Post featured our Grapevine Arbour, Shepherd's Hooks lining the aisle (with rose petals!) and twin oversized floral arrangements flanking the altar area.






Lately we're loving how Parasols are showing up at the wedding ceremony ... form and function!



The wedding party looked totally amazing ... tried our best to get some good photos, but had to dance around both the official photographer and the cinematographers!!





And finally our modelicious bride Andrea and her father ... about to escort her down the aisle!!


In the Grand Georgian Ballroom, we created a birch and willow canopy under which the head table was placed ... all lit up with soft glowing lantern and flood lights, it was ammmmmazing ... wish we coulda dined under there!



The guest tables featured our full floral centerpieces with Simply Beautiful Décor providing the crystal globe lanterns, chargers, linens and chiavari chairs.







In the Atrium (which was the cocktail area) under the giant chandelier we created this big conversation piece from cork, large slabs of walnut tree, willow and a plethora of flowers and candlelight!



These absolutely delicious cupcakes and wedding cake were designed by the talented team at Vineyard Sweets ... as beautiful to taste as they are to look at!



Ceremony Location: Pillar and Post, Niagara on the Lake
Wedding Venue: Queen's Landing, Niagara on the Lake
Wedding Cake: Vineyard Sweets

Wedding Ceremony Flowers and Church Decor: Part 2

Posted by Jennifer on May 10 2010

We're often asked if we can create a Chuppah / Mandap / Canopy suitable for modern wedding ceremonies and receptions ... of course we can!

If your wedding ceremony or reception requires a Chuppah, Mandap or Canopy, we’ve got you covered … literally! Our unique custom-made frame is a flexible, one-of-a-kind design which allows us to build any style onto it … birch logs, curly willow, fabric, etc. From the base design, we can add flowers, foliages, hanging candles, lanterns and more!

Continuing our look at some of our most requested options, let's talk about custom chuppahs, canopies and grapevine arbours!

We created this birch log canopy for a wedding 'ceremony-in-the-round' ... the bride walked through the spiral of chairs to the centre where she met her groom under the canopy!



Later in the evening, the ceremony canopy became a cozy seating area for guests to relax chat away from the dance floor ...


Claire + Jeremy were married under our curly willow chuppah in the Imperial Ballroom at Queen's Landing ...


Marilyn + Joe were married under a beautiful willow canopy in the Atrium at one of the finest Niagara on the Lake wedding venues, the ever classy Queen’s Landing!



We created this outdoor 'seating and conversation canopy' for Brad + Kevin's wedding at The Good Earth Cooking School and Food Company ... guests cozied up under it throughout the evening and into the wee hours!



For Heather and Josh's wedding reception, we fashioned our custom birch canopy into a sort of ‘sweet-heart’ table covering … the bride and groom were parked underneath it and their wedding party kind of spilled out from there! Later in the evening, the tables came down and a delicious old-school ‘candy buffet’ was setup under the candle-lit branches!



Moya + David's Niagara nuptials were celebrated outdoors in the Cave Spring Vineyard



Holly + Rodolfo were wed at Cave Spring Winery’s ‘Vineyard Retreat’ among the grape rows in the vineyard where some of Niagara’s best vintages begin! The wedding ceremony was supposed to be in the vineyard, but was changed to the Retreat at the last minute because the weather was not cooperating!

Vintage Hotels Wedding Show 2010 Recap

Posted by Jennifer on February 22 2010

This past weekend we participated in the Vintage Hotels Wedding Show once again ... it's the only show we're doing this year and it was a lot of fun!

We design a lot of Niagara on the Lake weddings at the Vintage Hotels each season ... we love working with Stephanie, Jennifer, Savannah, Peggy, Karen and all the amazing staff at Queen's Landing, Pillar and Post and Prince of Wales Hotels! Aside from meeting new clients at the show, an important part of the day for us is connecting with the many talented Niagara wedding professionals that gather annually at this show. We're so proud to be associated with such a talented pool of wedding vendors!

This year, our booth featured our 'Glow' colour palette under our canopy in the Grand Georgian Ballroom at Queen's Landing. Glow is a sunny and mellow yellow, lemon and vanilla palette that our brides are loving!

Here's our booth ... one of the many incarnations of our Canopy / Mandap / Chuppah! We constructed our canopy with birch logs and fabric and then covered it with a thatched roof of wispy curly willow and ruscus foliage. Thanks to Simply Beautiful Décor for the linen covering our table!



We did samples of three different bride's bouquets in the 'Glow' palette ... I love the custom button detailing on these! Everybody wondered what the little yellow 'ball' flowers were ... they're mimosa!






We created these 'birch log candles' out of some left over pieces of birch log we had kicking around the studio ...


We tucked a few of these cute little succulents and hens 'n chicks into the nooks and crannies ...


We incorporated a couple of our custom Shepherd's Hooks at the corners ... these are a favourite for use as aisle décor at wedding ceremonies!
